North Yorkshire: Caring with confidence - Free weekly sessions for unpaid adult carers

Scotland: Little Troopers is heading to Scotland this October

Over the summer, we invited military families living in Scotland to share their views via an online survey on the proposed expansion of our Little Troopers Therapy Programme into Scotland. We received some really valuable feedback and now we want to build on that by meeting families in person and involving you in shaping what this support could look like.

We're hosting two relaxed and informal focus group sessions where military parents and carers can enjoy a cuppa, meet Louise and Debbie from the Little Troopers team and share their experiences, thoughts and ideas about the support your military children need.

We'll also be exploring the specific needs of submarine families during our Helensburgh session.

Your voice can help shape the future of Little Troopers support in Scotland.

Both sessions are free to attend, with refreshments provided. You don't need to have completed our original survey or accessed Little Troopers support before. We'd simply love to see you there.

Helensburgh:

21st October

0930 - 1130hrs

Lossiemouth:

22nd October

0930-1130hrs

Full venue details will be shared with those that register.
